[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Hello everyone,

I decided to create this Q&A thread for my CM10.1 builds. General discussion for the ROM or questions/troubleshooting can go here. Not every issue is necessarily a ROM bug. Actual bug reports with logcats or kmsg or whatever's needed for the bug should still remain in the development thread.

I wanted to try this out to prevent people with less experience or fewer posts feel alienated from not being able to post in the ROM thread. This thread is open for the community to help each other with issues. I've started a short FAQ to prevent questions from being asked repeatedly and also to help everyone out.

FAQ

Q: How do I flash this ROM? Any special steps?

A: If coming from a different ROM, it's recommended to do a factory reset prior to flashing as well as wiping /system.

Q: How do I update from builds? Do I need to wipe?

A: Flash the new build in recovery. If you're using an ext4 no data limit mod be sure to flash it after the ROM before rebooting to prevent any loss of data or missing apps issues.

Q: Do I need to re-flash gapps when I update builds?

A: No you do not as they get backed up and restored by CM provided you don't wipe system before flashing the ROM.

Q: What kernel is included with the ROM?

A: This ROM ships with my latest incredikernel so there's no reason to flash a specific kernel after the ROM unless you want a different kernel/older version of incredikernel.

Q: I got notified in goo manager that a gapps update is available. Is it safe to flash?

A: no. The system partition is too small on the incredible and they won't flash properly. Use my gapps instead from my main ROM thread.

Q: Why does my camera show weird lines and graphic corruption?

A: I'm not 100% sure on the cause but it is most likely driver related. Every JB ROM has this issue. Use a third party camera like Camera ICS for now.

Q: The camera recording is so choppy. Is there anything I can do about it?

A: The performance of the GPU in the Droid Incredible is very limited and Jellybean was never meant to run on this phone. As a result, some of the methods used to get things to work are a bit hacky which can explain the general graphics glitching.

Q: Will there ever be official CM 10.1 nightlies?

A: No, the CM team has stated they won't bring the qsd8k devices to ICS or later which includes devices such as the Nexus One, Droid Incredible, and Evo 4g.

Q: HELPP!!! I lost the advanced reboot menu. What do I do?

A: There has been a change in CM to disable the Advanced Reboot Menu. Fortunately, it can be enabled in developer options. However, it will only be active while the device is unlocked.

Q: I can't adb into my device. What to do?

A: Seems to be a new issue now but once you enable adb network you can get in via adb even over USB.

Q: I get a process system has stopped responding on boot.

A: Select wait and it will go away. This is a known issue but not consistent. It seems to happen more frequently when using a theme chooser theme as the systemui components are swapped out on the fly.

Q: I want to flash the files for offline voice dictation but the mod says I need 34 MB free and I can't seem to free enough space.

A: Users have reporting the following can be removed and replaced with play store replacements. Unfortunately due to the limited partition size of /system (250MB), there's a lot of stripping of system apps needed to make enough room for the offline files. (There should not be any need to do this now due as of the 4/5 build and gapps)

Trebuchet (Nova), Calculator (Calulations) Apollo (in the Play Store), Exchange and email (Aqua Mail), CM File Manager (FX Explorer), and the accessibility features like talk back.

Also there are about 7Mb of ringtones in /system/media/audio/ringtones. I'd recommend keeping only the ones you want.
